10. Tips for a good coffee

• Before making coffee for the first time, dispense some water only in order to ensure the perfect dispensing; water does not disperse heat inside the appliance and fluids encounter less resistance.
• For a coffee at the optimal temperature, in case a cup-warmer is not available, warm the cup up by dispensing only water.
• In order to obtain a thicker and more persistent cream, use cups with an inner ovoid-shape base.
